L. 4g ' v . ' uqwvlsl-ul on 9 sl l v' - ff By Winifred Rutledge, SB. For the past few years Kingstonians have been putting forth greater efforts to advance drama in Kingston. Unfortunately Kingston does 'not get all the best plays, but let us hope that soon we may have an up-to- date theatre used expressly for the legiti- mate drama. The lovers of music, art and drama have formed a club which is known as the Art and Music Club. It is divided into three groups, the Art, the Music and the Drama. During the years noted musicians are brought to Kingston by the Art and Music Club. During the past year we were for- tunate in being able to enjoy the famous harpist Grandjany, and the Hautist Leroy, and at another time Madame de Kresze, who charmed the audience with her talent. The Drama Club has presented Nothing But the Truth , a comedy, once in the talk- ies in which Richard Dix was starred. Their latest play is 'Secrets' which has been pre- sented in our own auditorium. It was with much regret that we learned that the Stratford-Upon-Avon Players could not visit us this year. The Abbey Players visited us in December and presented three plays, two of which were The White- Headed Boy, and Far-off Hills. Sir John Martin-Harvey and his company came to Kingston in January and presented 'fThe King's Messenger. The Queen's students seem to have be- come more and more interested in drama and from time to time have presented one- act plays which were well attended by the students in general. Surely it is time that we in our own school formed a dramatic club. VVith the new auditorium and all facilities necessary for the production of plays it ought to be an excellent opportunity for the students to develop their dramatic talents. A few years ago we had a dramatic society, but somehow the society was aban- doned and since then no effort has been made to revive it. Of late years the movie theatre has gain- ed more and more popularity. The current reviews are eagerly read and perused by thousands of fans. Among the female stars Marlene Die- trich, Greta Garbo and Marie Dressler seem to be the favourites not only to the fa-ns, but the box-offices. VVe honour Garbo for her QContinued on page 1125 94 .

KINGJTON COLLEFSIATE vocA'rloNAL lN5'rrru1'e DRAMA CContinued from page llOj superb acting in Mata Hari in which she played the part of a spy in the Great VVar and ended her career before a firing squad. VVe honour Marlene for her subtle glamour in Shanghai Expressi' although all the hon- our is not due to Marlene alone, for Clive Brook gave an excellent performance as the British Officer. VVe honour Marie Dressler for her endearing portrayal of Emma',. The male stars who have won outstanding popularity are Clark Gable, Frederic March, George Arliss and Robert Montgom- ery. Clark Gable is, according to the wo- men fans, the ideal man. He has done excellent work in Possessed.,' Susan Lenox, and Hell Divers. Our lowest Chesterlieldian bow and our wildest applause go to Frederic March for his amazing and spectacular work in Dr, Iekyll and Mr. Hyde. He is more firmly entrenched than ever in the hearts of picture lovers as an actor of genuine ability and a gentleman of distinguished personality. George Arliss ,ff 4 gf . iiii X nw 'Kip -4 ii, df, QL! 'iff Fi f ' V whose work in Disraeli has not been for- gotten gives an excellent performance ir The Man who Played God, but the story is only fair. Robert Montgomery, still 2 favourite of the women, gave an excellent performance in Private Lives with Norma Shearer. The best performances of the month are Lionel Barrymore in The Man I Killedf ,lohn Barrymore in Arsene Lupin, Iimmie Dunn and Sally Eilers in Dance Team,'l Edward Robinson in The Hatchet Manfl Madge Evans in Lovers Courageous. and Paul Lukas in Tomorrow and Tornorrowff In brief the talkies have been consid- erably better during the last few months than they have ever been before. With great joy we note that no more are we forc- ed to listen to Helen Kane's sickening boop- a-doops, or to gaze at Clara Bow's love scenes. Let us hope that l932 will bring us even better shows and that the producers will star and feature in their pictures only actors and actresses of ability and talent, and a word to the play writers, better stories. mlfisftiaa T E - -112-
